The Castle

by one-llucy

There are traitors in the castle Hypocrites and liars Spreading rumors, keeping secrets Lighting silent fires Pacing in the bedrooms Quiet in the halls Sneaking after midnight Conspiring behind walls Pretending to be royalty Called themselves "king and queen" Throwing out words like garbage Not saying what they mean Not taking time to think Just playing a silly game Betraying flesh and blood not feeling any shame Full of carelessness and greediness But acting so sincere Watching with fake smiles and laughter Ignoring every tear Throwing "traitors" in the dungeon While deceiving on the thrown Punishing those "committing crimes" Not looking at their own There were traitors in the castle Hypocrites and liars Bargaining with enemies Igniting silent fires Now there is no castle No whispers in the halls Nothing hiding behind doors All that's standing are the walls
